Other Natural Gas Businesses
In addition to these growing gathering and processing systems in Texas, we also have four interstate natural gas systems—KPC, Midla, AlaTenn and UTOS—that together comprise more than 1,800 miles of transmission pipeline operating in six states. These, along with a number of our smaller intrastate natural gas systems, typically consist of a natural gas pipeline, compression and various connections to other pipelines that serve wholesale customers.
Dufour Petroleum, a Partnership trucking and marketing subsidiary, transports natural gas liquids, crude oil and carbon dioxide by truck and railcar from wellheads and treating, processing and fractionation facilities to wholesale customers, such as distributors, refiners and chemical facilities. Dufour owns a fleet of 125 trucks, 150 trailers, 60 railcars and 5.6 million barrels of storage facilities.
Enbridge Natural Gas Marketing optimizes our system deliveries by providing natural gas sales services, transportation, balancing, storage and supply to producers and wholesale customers. The Marketing group purchases natural gas from producers that use our gathering pipelines or other connected systems and then sells natural gas to wholesale customers based on published daily or monthly price indices, incorporating a charge for services and pass-through costs of transportation. The group manages commodity price risk through hedging and other formal risk-management processes.
